As I said before, the entrance facades in red-light districts | Kyoto Insights ⎈

As I said before, the entrance facades in red-light districts are of great importance: they represent the "vibe" of the establishment and give you all kinds of hints about the type of services you're going to get inside. But what happens to the other sides of the building? Well. Nobody. Cares. At all. In Western Europe they have laws to prevent this dystopian wall nightmare from happening; I can vividly imagine my Italian architecture professors writhing in despair when they'll see the pictures. In Japan, on the other hand, the buildings are but a temporary venture. Why should you think about the impression they might make with their side view? It will disappear in 15-30 years and nobody needs nice windows and balconies in a shady hostclub anyway.
